This is one of my all time favorites. Such a delightful melodious song, and featuring Sanjeev Kumar, who is also one of my all time favorite actors. The movie was Aandhi, starring primarily Sanjeev Kumar and Suchitra Sen and made in 1975 with direction by Gulzar and produced by Om Prakash J. The movie was very controversial, because the theme of the movie - an aspiring lady politician who sacrifices everything (including husband and child) for politics and fame, and even when she regains them and has genuine happiness, she still uses the occasion to make political points over her opponents seemed very close to Indira Gandhi's life. If you have not seen the movie, you really should.The song was sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar and is a must hear. If you are fond of melodious songs, you need to have this in your collection. The music was directed by RD Burman and lyrics were by Gulzaar.
